What to look for when AI lets you can see inside moving vehicles

AI, paired with IT edge computing and imaging technology (lidar, x-ray or GPS), will soon make it possible to tell how many people are in each vehicle and if weapons are on board, among other things. Useful applications include accurate passenger traffic analysis, shipment reviews, and security.

Measuring economic benefits of using big data in the transportation sector

Showing is believing. Learn how transport operators service users can save time and money, how transport data and related insights can be sold to third parties, and how newly enabled MaaS technologies may generate revenue from passengers.

How emerging "ethical AI" guidelines and government regulation will impact AI usage

Regulations on the way to protect against “adversarial AI”, among other things. Dubai is leading with its own set of AI standards, and IBM recently created a suppliers declaration of conformity for AI. Here is what this means for AI development and applications.

We will survey the latest theory and technologies for simultaneously mapping and localizing uncertainty data. The university’s Robotics Research Center develops robotics showcases for this technology, through testing and validating new techniques in the domain.

V2X data: How it can help public transportation and industrial transport evolve

As vehicles, pedestrians and infrastructure become increasingly rich with data, how will transportation change for individuals and for companies using the roads?

How decentralised AI nodes will work in parallel to create an environment for future transportation. This can be supported with AI wherein the Intelligent System within the self-driving cars will communicate with the other independent distributed AI to create an autonomous driving experience.

Transportation strategy, when it comes to protecting drivers and roadside pedestrians and cyclists, should be based on the numbers. Hear what data is most insightful, how to collect it, and ways to create processes that assure up-to-date data is available to decision makers.

Faulty tires cause a broad range of road accidents, but by creating the optimum tread depth, size of contact with the road, and CPC, many can be avoided. Hear what the research shows when it comes to tire manufacture and maintenance when it comes to safety.

What drives UAE motorists?

Understanding the psychology of drivers is key to creating signage, laws and other safety tools in creative ways to successfully influence safer driving decisions on the road. In the UAE, every nationality – and driving style – is present, but all share the same basic motivators, which can be instructive in road safety strategies.

How technology is helping cities internationally make our roads safer

Policies and policing can only do so much. These days, there are some sophisticated technology solutions showing what can really be done when transit authorities think creatively about safety.

How can the legislators and manufacturers together make the vehicles and roads safer? The information about the level of technical improvements in the EU. The Mercedes-Benz pioneering technology and vision of accident-free Transportation.

WIM: Designing a weighing system for improved maintenance, safety and revenues

Transport inspection strategies are key to lower operating costs, fewer traffic accidents, and even greater toll revenues. Learn what factors to consider when designing a weighing system for both public and private roads.
